  • Welcome to Read Across America 2009!!


    Several schools across this great nation have decided to join together in this project to Read Across America. We will be sharing the book Oh the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss. This book will be passed on from school to school. The final destination of the book will be to First Lady Obama in the White House. To see a copy of the letter written to First Lady Obama, click on the this link.

    Students will learn about the geography of the United States as well as some fun and interesting facts about the states the book travels to. Students will also learn how to track the miles that the book travels with each stop by making a graph on Excel. There is a link to a chart to track the miles on the wiki. Please add the mileage from your school to the next school on the chart.
